Chapter 720 - 406: Surviving the Calamity_2
He was going all out. A Nascent Soul is not like the others; once it’s damaged, it’s a complete downfall.
Admiration flashed in Ancestor Lu’s eyes. Many a promising talent faced their Nascent Soul Tribulation, but very few could exhibit the resilience and courage like Elder Jian did.
Cultivators who wish to contend with the heavens must be prepared to be pushed to the brink of death before they can hope to survive.
If one is preoccupied with concerns, they can never unleash their full potential, and failure is then inevitable.
Every cultivator undergoing tribulation understands this principle, but to truly put it into practice is no easy feat.
"Sword Intent Sky Towering!" This time, Elder Jian did not wait for the Heavenly Thunder to strike. He let out a manic laugh, and the giant sword transformed from his Nascent Soul charged towards the thunderclouds above.
His momentum was rising continuously and also growing stronger, his Sword Intent on the giant sword becoming more concentrated. The space in front of him even felt like it was about to be cleaved open by the sword.
Li Yuanba’s eyes shone. He witnessed the pinnacle of the "Sky-Surging Sword Intent Technique" at the Golden Core level.
He was unable to execute such a powerful move. It required the honing of Sword Intent and the utmost coordination between spirit and Sword Intent, areas in which he still had a long way to go.
At that moment, the thunderclouds seemed to sense the challenge. The lightning within quickly gathered, and another bolt of Heavenly Thunder slashed down towards Elder Jian, who was ascending towards the sky.
With a ’boom’, the Heavenly Thunder struck Elder Jian, and the whole sky turned white.
It was blindingly white, so white that the cultivators couldn’t look directly at it.
